Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This 3-way, 5.5-inch center-channel loudspeaker with a high-impact, molded enclosure is designed to reproduce sound with unmatched clarity and power. The pure titanium tweeter and the midrange transducer are mounted on a Linear Field Proximity (LFP) bezel that ensures a seamless transition between the middle and high frequencies. The PolyPlas (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) woofer features traditional JBL engineering, the same technologies used in JBL's professional equipment that can be found in stadiums, music halls, and movie theaters around the world.

Shielded components allow distortion-free placement near video monitors. High-temperature, oversized Kapton voice coils and HeatScape motor structures allow this speaker to effortlessly play all types of movies and music.

The woofers are built on cast aluminum frames, which reduce distortion and increase power-handling capability. The FreeFlow flared port increases bass response without adding unwanted port noise. JBL's custom-designed drivers allow the use of simple Straight-line Signal Path (SSP) crossover networks with high-quality electrical components that minimize processing that could degrade the signal. All Studio Series loudspeakers are equipped with all-metal, five-way, gold-plated binding-post speaker terminals.

JBL S-Center II Studio Series Center-Channel Speaker .......2007-05-14

Excellent, one of the best purchases that have made. Incredible effect.

Don't go any smaller........2006-03-12

This is my favorite speaker out of my system (N38II's, N26II's, S-CenterII, PB12 [behind seat] and E250P [up front]). I almost got the N series center, and am I glad I didn't! This speaker actually keeps up with the rest, and sounds wonderful. You don't know how bad it is to own an under-sized center channel until you hear one the correct size. Don't scimp on it, make it the best speaker in the setup.

Simply the best!.......2005-11-26

I purchased this speaker about 3 years ago and it has always performed better than any other I have experienced (personally or by friends). I ma selling only due to it's size and buying a new Yamaha cinema station. I paid about $200 for this in 2001 and have been more than happy with it's performance. Once I hooked it up to my Kenwood amp, the clarity of dialog and primary sounds was incredible. Anyone thinking of purchasing this speaker will not be disappointed.

Simply, the BEST Center Channel Speaker Ever.......2003-08-08

I owned a Kenwood 2 way basic Center Speaker and I thought it was good enough for my Home Teather needs but how wrong I was. I hesitated to buy it 'cause "it's just a speaker" I though but once you heard it, you can't never go back. The low and High sounds are perfectly translated, even in night times I don't have to turn the sub-woofer on because it's jus unnecesary, the bass of this center channel rocks the bedroom by itself.

Adding a Home Theater System.......2002-12-27

My wife was asleep when I assembled our new home theater system. At the time, the only speakers I had was the S-Center and a subwoofer; the others were being shipped. When she woke up, she said it sounded like an orchestra was in the room.

This thing sounds wonderful.

A great match for the JBL S38's.......2001-04-11

Really great sound and a perfect match for JBL's S38's, which I got 2 pairs and use as my surrounds.

excellent center speaker.......2001-04-06

There is no need to compare. This will the the job just fine. I have been looking for a center speaker for the past 5 years. I finally found this one last year 2000. It is very clear. I always felt the center speaker was the weak link in my system. After 4 center speakers in 5 years. This is the one I really like. The one it replaced was the N-center by JBL, I had that for 2 months. I learned that one can not really test speakers at a shop (high end or low end). Its just buying and trying it at home.

Why look further unless you got lotsa mulah.... ; -).......2001-01-04

The JBL line reflects quality, especially at the studio reference level. The S-center is reference quality, and will hold its own with any $200+ center speaker(Klipsch nips the JBL with the horn driver however if you like it LOUD..). All vocals and center stage is clear and defined, no blurring or high end loss, altho you need a subwoofer or strong front speakers to fill out the bass. I paired the JBL S-center with front JBL Century 100s(1970's era) and a pair of Yamaha (cheap) surrounds and have all the theater I need. You will need a solid set of front speakers to match the JBL S-center, or you will need to restrict the power to the JBL as it WILL make its presence heard. My listening area is 10ftx12ft so small, so I rarely stretch the JBL's audio limits. I am convinced it would hold up to a room much larger with no problem/distortion/etc. And this is the beauty of the JBL in that it is clear and responsive even at extremely low listening levels as well. If you want something loud, go with the Klipsch horn driven center. But if you listen at a lower level, the JBL is the answer. And the price is correct for a quality JBL product. Easy to connect, nice looking, solid performer, quality built in, good support from the JBL folks. Buy it.

Awesome Speaker!.......2001-01-02

I figured this would be a nice speaker, but it has far exceeded my expectations. Sound is clear and precise and can overpower your front speakers if they aren't up to the task. It perfectly matches my grey and silver Hitachi TV as well.

Robert.......2000-07-21

I bought this and have had no problems intigrating it with my system. The sound quality is fantastic and it looks as cool as its picture. I started with a low-end center channel and the upgrade to this one will last me for years. Great technology and great big full sound -- this is a great speaker!
